Understanding Shedding in Dogs

Shedding is a natural process in which dogs lose their old or damaged fur to make way for new fur growth. All dogs shed to some extent, but the amount and frequency of shedding can vary depending on various factors. Shedding is influenced by a dog’s breed, age, health, and environment. Some dogs shed seasonally, while others shed year-round. Shedding can be a nuisance for pet owners, as it can leave hair all over furniture, clothes, and other surfaces. However, shedding is a necessary process that allows dogs to maintain healthy skin and fur.
